🎉 Project Showcase Alert! 🎉

Huge applause for our incredible 7th and 8th grade middle school Robotics and Manufacturing 2 students! They have officially wrapped up their project: custom wall shelves and boxes. 🛠️📦

This wasn't just building; it was a deep dive into manufacturing skills! Our students mastered the entire process, starting with precision measuring for flawless design. They learned to work their materials by accurately punching holes and making accurate folds to give their pieces shape and strength. Next came industrial assembly techniques like spot welding for a secure build, and they finished strong by personalizing their projects with the exciting surface treatment of hydro dipping!

From raw material to finished, customized product—these middle schoolers showed off a full range of expertise. Way to go, future engineers and makers! 👏
